Pod People and Mitchell for me, too. I quoted those episodes so often that friends of mine who had never seen the episodes started quoting them. Boy, I was annoying.

The Young Ones is my favorite TV show of all time. And yeah, that's a great ep.

Well, it's not just that I think she might get eliminated (although, I do think she might, sometimes the better chef goes home on this show) but that I'd like to see her back in the main competition, doing the more interesting challenges and getting more airtime.

Do people really watch Ghost Hunters?

After listening to it again, I think she does say "few more" but it's close. If so, argh. Just tell us when they're going back into the competition, jerkfaces.

SPOILERS IF YOU CARE

Planet Money is probably my favorite podcast of 2011. I like Radiolab, but I'd like it a lot more if they could keep their fingers off the sound effect buttons.

It's not the conversation puzzles themselves that I didn't like, it's that once you start replaying the game, they become a chore to sit through. If you could hit a button to skip past the audio and just make your choices based on reading text, I wouldn't have minded them at all. Instead, I started to dread those…

I liked DXHR a lot, and it was a lot better than it should have been given how bad Invisible War was, but sadly the lack of great levels and the forced conversation puzzles pegged it down a notch for me. It did make me hopeful for another sequel, though.

It doesn't make you lame. It makes you a genius. La Roux is awesome.

Yeah, the movies were definitely the "good parts" versions, removing the songs, the 30 page descriptions of walking across a field and the bizarro characters like Tom Bombadil. I'm really hoping there's not a lot of singing in this one.

The reaction shot to the chicken is pretty awesome.

Guaraldi's Charlie Brown Christmas is just about the only Christmas music I can stand. It's really good, too.

Doesn't JWZ have that place wired up with video cameras? I seem to recall streaming video coming out of it at some point. If so, maybe there's some scandalous footage that could act as evidence and entertain me for a few minutes.

It's the best movie ever made, see it immediately.

They just averaged the two out.

I actually think Cody is a good writer, based on what I've read of her writing online and the stuff she did for some city paper back in the day. I just don't think she's a good screenwriter, based on Juno and Jennifer's Body. Maybe that'll change with this one.

Have you read the Juno screenplay? It's considerably worse than what made it to the screen. I assumed that was Reitman's doing, but whoever it was, someone did her a solid.
